As we all step into the weekend, remember the importance of checking in on each other. Your support can make a world of difference. 💛 You are the light in somebody’s life 🌻 The Army acknowledges that suicide prevention is an ongoing effort and has created a toolkit with resources that can be used anytime.

In the midst of life's challenges, it's not just okay, but absolutely essential to reach out and ask for help. We are never alone on this journey, and together, we can make a profound difference. 🤝 On this world suicide prevention day, let's make a pledge to check on our family, friends, battle buddies, and brothers and sisters in arms. A simple message can be a lifeline for someone who needs it most. ❤️ Your words and your presence matter. Let's stand together, support one another, and spread the message of hope and resilience. Together, we can create a world where every day is a day of love, understanding, and compassion. Vets2Industry - Providing knowledge, connections, opportunities, and more importantly, HOPE!

September is Suicide Prevention Month, a time to raise awareness of suicide and to promote suicide prevention efforts. The 2023 Army Suicide Prevention month theme is “You are the light in somebody’s life,” which nests within the Department of Defense’s theme of “Connect to Protect: Support is within Reach.” We can be the person that recognizes a person at risk and intervene. https://lnkd.in/gqjthVNu

There may be people in your life who believe you are worthless but always know, you matter and you are never alone. Be an advocate for mental health for all people. I highly recommend taking time out of your day to read this. 5 minutes is all it can take to save a life. #MentalHealthMatters #YouMatter #NeverAlone #AdvocateForMentalHealth
